After four seasons in the Nittany Lions‘ backfield, the class of 2019 running back will look for a new home and a fresh start.

Ford rushed for 666 yards and six touchdowns over four seasons at Penn State. After a freshman campaign where he appeared in all 12 games, rushing for 294 yards and three touchdowns.

Playing in only six games in 2020, Ford fought for playing time in the Penn State backfield, after appearing in just nine games in 2021, and leaving the team after four games in 2022.

In the 2019 recruiting class, Ford was Penn State’s second highest commit overall, ranking only behind five-star composite linebacker Brandon Smith. Ford was joined in the 2019 class by fellow four-star composite running back Noah Cain, who transferred to LSU prior to the 2022 season.

Ford preserved his redshirt status by leaving the team in mid-October last season after only four games. With the extra year of Covid eligibility, Ford will have the ability to play two seasons wherever he decides to transfer.
